Issue:       20 ops/cycle  ✓ (scheduler limit)
Execute:     32 ops/cycle  ✓
Memory:      8 ops/cycle   ✓ (4 load + 4 store)
ROB:         768 / 51cy = 15 ops/cycle ✓

Bottleneck: Issue width (20) and memory (8)

Typical instruction mix:
  40% - Simple integer (ALU, shift, branch)
  20% - Complex integer (multiply, MAC, divide)
  15% - FP/SIMD operations
  25% - Load/store operations

Required bandwidth per category:
  Integer:  15 * 0.60 = 9 ops/cycle
            Available: 12 simple + 6 complex = 18 ✓
  
  FP:       15 * 0.15 = 2.25 ops/cycle
            Available: 6 FP units ✓
  
  Memory:   15 * 0.25 = 3.75 ops/cycle
            Available: 8 load/store ✓

Result: All execution units have headroom!

Worst case: Memory-intensive code (40% loads, 10% stores)

Memory ops: 15 * 0.50 = 7.5 ops/cycle
Available:  4 loads + 4 stores = 8 ops/cycle

L1 hit rate: 95% @ 4 cycles
L2 hit rate: 4% @ 14 cycles
L3 miss:     1% @ 50+ cycles

Average memory latency:
  0.95 * 4 + 0.04 * 14 + 0.01 * 50 = 4.86 cycles

With 128-entry load queue:
  Max in-flight loads: 128
  Sustained rate: 128 / 4.86 = 26 loads/cycle (way more than needed)

Conclusion: Memory NOT a bottleneck for IPC 15
